Doctors began to notice that patients experienced symptomatic pain relief after the diagnostic procedure and began to use it as a type of treatment....

...bow drill. For larger holes the amount of material that had to be reduced to powder led to the idea of using a tube, such as a rolled copper strip, instead of a solid cylinder. This is called a core drill because the abrasive trapped between rotating tube and stone grinds out a ring containing a core that can be removed....

A second factor associated with a drilling program is the choice between core drilling and rotary drilling. In core drilling, a hollow drill bit is attached to a core barrel so that cylindrical samples of the strata can be obtained. (Since the drill bit is faceted with diamonds for cutting the strata, this method is also called diamond core drilling.) Photographing the cores as they come out of......

Within the eudicots there is a large clade called the core eudicots, nearly all members of which show major differences in floral morphology from that of other flowering plants. In particular, the basic construction of the flower is much more stereotyped than in the basal eudicots, monocots, and basal dicots. Within nearly every order of the core eudicots, there are families with a basic......

Core logging is a highly specialized skill requiring careful observation and accurate recording. Geophysical logging of the hole created in the drilling process is sometimes done without the collection of the core. Logging techniques are extremely useful, dependable, and accurate for lithologic identification, formation evaluation, and depositional environment analysis....

At the centre there probably is a small iron-rich metallic core with a radius of about 350 km (250 miles) at most. At one time, shortly after the Moon’s formation, the core had an electromagnetic dynamo like that of Earth (see geomagnetic......

...Ivan R. King, for instance, has derived dynamical models that fit observed stellar distributions very closely. He finds that a cluster’s structure can be described in terms of two numbers: (1) the core radius, which measures the degree of concentration at the centre, and (2) the tidal radius, which measures the cutoff of star densities at the edge of the cluster....

technique used in underground or undersea exploration and prospecting. A core sample is a roughly cylindrical piece of subsurface material removed by a special drill and brought to the surface for examination. Such a sample is needed to ascertain bulk properties of underground rock, such as its porosity and permeability, or to investigate the peculiar features of a given zone of strata (e.g.,...

...with substantial variations occurring within each type. The types are distinguished principally by workmanship but also vary in size and appearance and are known as core, flake, and blade tools. The core tools are the largest; the earliest and most primitive were made by working on a fist-sized piece of rock (core) with a similar rock (hammerstone) and knocking off several large flakes on one.....

The so-called classic explosion, associated with Type II supernovae, has as progenitor a very massive star (a Population I star) of at least eight solar masses that is at the end of its active lifetime.
